Definitions

• the invention which follows comprises a composition composed of a thermoplastic polymer and a synergistic mixture of specific amino ethers and finely divided phosphinates.
• composition may be employed, in particular, as a flame retardant for thin-gauge materials, preferably for polyolefin sheetings and polyolefin fibers.
• Polyolefins are increasingly being employed in applications where flame retardancy is required. Flame retardancy is nowadays typically achieved by addition of bromine or phosphorus compounds. However said compounds also have quite serious disadvantages. Bromine compounds markedly reduce the photostability of the olefins and can therefore be used in exterior applications only to a very limited extent. Phosphorus-containing flame retardants need to be employed in large amounts and are also often ineffective in thin-gauge applications such as fibers and sheetings.
• U.S. Pat. No. 6,599,963A1 describes polymeric substrates comprising a flame retardant system comprising a sterically hindered amine and a brominated flame retardant.
• WO99/00450 describes the use of a sterically hindered amine compound as a flame retardant for polymers.
• WO2010/026230 describes mixtures of cyclic phosphonates, one or more 1,3,5-triazine compounds and sterically hindered amino ethers. Said document describes polyethylene sheetings meeting the fire classification DIN 4102 B2. The disadvantage is that transparent sheetings cannot be prepared.
• WO2011/117266 describes polymeric substances comprising a salt of a phosphinic acid and a tetraalkylpiperidine or a tetraalkylpiperazine derivative.
• Polypropylene achieves fire classification V-2 with the addition of 8% flame retardant.
• the mixture is unsuitable for sheetings and fibers due to the high filler content and the particle size of the phosphinic acid salt employed.
• flame retardants may impair the processing stability of plastics materials. Increased polymer degradation, crosslinking reactions, outgassing or discoloration may occur, for example. These effects occur in attenuated form, if at all, for plastics material processing in the absence of flame retardant.
• the present invention thus relates to compositions comprising as component (A) a finely divided phosphinic acid salt of formula (I) and/or diphosphinic acid salt of formula (II) and/or polymers thereof,

• composition comprises 0.2 to 2 wt % of component (A), 0.5 to 2 wt % of component (B) and 96 to 99.7 wt % of component (C).
• thermoplastic polymer is a polyolefin.
• composition is processed into a transparent sheeting of 50-500 ⁇ m in thickness.
• the invention also comprises molded articles, films and fibers produced with the composition as claimed in one or more of claims 1 to 12 .

• Waxes are natural or synthetic materials which at 20° C. are solid and kneadable and above 40° C. melt without decomposition and have a low viscosity. Waxes undergo transition into the molten, low-viscosity state generally between 50° C. and 90° C. and in exceptional cases at up to about 200° C. A distinction is made between natural waxes such as carnauba wax, chemically modified waxes such as montan ester waxes and synthetic waxes such as polyethylene waxes.

• Polar polyolefin waxes are formed by appropriate modification of nonpolar waxes, for example by oxidation with air or by grafting on polar olefin monomers, for example ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated carboxylic acids and/or derivatives thereof, for instance acrylic acid or maleic anhydride.
• Polar polyolefin waxes may further be prepared by copolymerization of ethylene with polar comonomers, for example vinyl acetate or acrylic acid, furthermore by oxidative degradation of relatively high molecular weight non-waxy ethylene homo- and copolymers. Corresponding examples may be found, for instance, in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th Ed., Vol. A 28, Weinheim 1996, Ch. 6.1.5.
